An essential part of French cuisine, the Breton galette, also known as galette de blé noir or galette de sarrasin, originates, as its name suggests, from Brittany. Unlike wheat crêpes, which are made from wheat flour, Breton galettes are made from a batter of buckwheat flour, water, and salt. The batter is then spread into a thin crêpe on a hot plate commonly known as a bilig.
Then it's time to get creative, because you can put just about any ingredient you can imagine in a buckwheat galette, whether it's ham, egg, and cheese for a complete galette; andouille de Guémené sausage and caramelized onions for the more adventurous; or even roasted apples and camembert for those who enjoy sweet and savory flavors.
And for dessert, buckwheat galettes can be enjoyed in a sweet version, topped with a squeeze of lemon, a few grains of sugar, spread, or even roasted pears, salted butter caramel, and whipped cream for those with a real sweet tooth. One galette and so many possibilities to enjoy!
A simple,comfortingfamily dish, galettescan be enjoyed in Paris's many crêperies. So if you're craving Breton galettes, don't wait to discover our top spots for devouring them in the capital. All accompanied by a bowl ofcider, of course!
